I am at work till 3pm then I'll be heading home in time for UPS's delivery time. They usually come around 4pm. I must have checked UPS tracking website like every 10 minutes. I must be insane. lol. I am actually nervous about how 8600 comes out like dead pixels, keyboard flex, backlight leak, etc. But I am confident that it'll be perfect.

I hope nothing will be wrong with them but I don't think we have anything to worry about.
Time goes so slowly when your waiting.

So measel did you get your computer?

I've ordered a 5100 and a 5150 in the past. I was never this excited about them. I hope the 8600 turns out to be as great a notebook as I think it will be.

got my 8600 here! So far, VERY VERY awesome! no dead pixels. little backlight leakage but i don't care about that since ti's normal for all LCDs. I got rid of Dell's crap and put in my XP pro in. running really nicely!

I must have done the same thing, checking the order site. I was mainly worried about the size. I was pleasantly surprised, with it being only slighly wider that my 15" i5100, and shorter, thinner and lighter!

Ok has your laptops came on the estimated delivery date?

Hey measel glad to hear you like your 8600. Mine is in boxing and has been since early yesterday. Hopefully the status changes soon. How are the graphics?? I have never seen an 8600 so I have no idea what to expect.

My LCD is WUXGA. Gosh it's beautiful screen. I haven't play games on it yet but I am sure it's very similar to my desktop with ati radeon 9600XT. I had some issues with intel 2200 wireless since XP was not getting along with intel's utility so I nuked the utility and reinstall drivers alone. Viola, it works perfectly. I just ordered 512mb ram from crucial and Truemobile 300 from Dell. Hopefully to get them by friday.

Oh I was right my new i8600 came today
It is so much better than I expected. Where does the blue look weird?
I like the blue.
Haven't done much on it yet apart from watch the Simpsons dvd and install a flash drive. I ordered it last Thursday and it came today, thats excellent service.

I agree about the blue. People keep complaining that it looks cr4p, but I can't understand why they say that.

How did the simpsons look on you screen. DVD look absolutely awesome on my WSXGA screen! Vibrant colours, bright and WIDESCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 8600 ordered Sat. 11/13 has been in boxing for over 2 days now. I cant imagine what takes so long to put the computer in a box and send it off.

Anyways, I have never seen an 8600 in person. Im sure ill be happy with it once it ever gets here. Right now im using a 380mhz Toshiba with a passive matrix screen. Cant wait to watch DVD's in widescreen!
